Coming soon!

This all-in-one, up-to-date reference book packed with hundreds of lists related to all areas of home education is currently in the process of being written. When completed, it will be useful for beginning homeschoolers as well as those who have been homeschooling for years. The book will include something for all grade levels from preschool to high school. Comprehensive and easy to use, this informational resource has been designed to be fun to browse through. It is intended especially for busy homeschool parents who don't have time to sit down and thoroughly read an entire book.

Teri is hoping to finish this book in time for the 2003 school year. It contains approximately 100 pages so far. Some of the topics already covered are: How to Get Started Homeschooling, Setting up a Home Learning Center, Basic Homeschool Supplies, Healthy Homeschool Habits, Learning Styles, Ways to Make Learning Fun, Book Report Alternatives, National Homeschool Groups, Foreign Homeschool Organizations, Curriculum Publishers, Library Classification Systems, Recommended Books, Choosing Educational Software, Building a Classical Music Collection, Helping Your Child Think About a Career, High School Transition Planning and Graduation.

If there are any particular lists you would like to see, send an e-mail telling what they are and Teri will try to fit them in. If you are interested in obtaining this book, she would be happy to notify you when it becomes available. Simply send an e-mail requesting that your name be placed on the waiting list.
